Running Mascara

by Stef   Oct 2, 2005


You know all the ways to make my mascara run
And it's funny how I don't care anymore if I cry
Because with you, it's just this silly game we play
And I can't make you change, even though I try.

You know all the lines to make me stay, every time
And with just one kiss, I won't fight you anymore
Because with you, I never can get quite enough
And I'm not the same person I was before.

You know all the lies that I always end up believing
And you use them so often it's almost like they're true
Because with you, there's just too much second-guessing
And I've run out of excuses for the things that you do.

You know all the secrets that I used to hold inside
And you exposed them to the world much too fast
Because with you, there isn't anything you don't know
And I'm beginning to understand it'll never last.

You know all the ways to make my mascara run
And you do them all so well, time and time again
Because with you, it's just this silly game we play
And even I know that in the end, you win.
